The Pittsburgh Penguins made one major addition before Monday’s NHL trade deadline when they sent two conditional draft picks to the Los Angeles Kings for veteran forward Jeff Carter.
Where exactly does Carter fit and what role is he going to play? No idea! But it is an intriguing move mostly because it was so unexpected. In the weeks of trade rumors leading up to the deadline I do not recall seeing a single reference to Carter and the Penguins, so it definitely came out of nowhere.
That does not mean it is bad.
